The fuel pump is probably going bad. It may also be clogged partially and can't work properly. You should take it to a mechanic and have them take a look at it for you to make sure that it isn't some other problem. I don't reccomend messing around with it yourself. Gas fuems explode easy

A low hum is normal as the motor is operating. An increase in noise may be an indicator that the pump is worn out and about to fail. Since the pump is in the tank is depends on the fuel in the tank to keep it cool. Running the tank toward empty can cause the pump to overheat and fail.
